'Forza 5' video doc touts Le Mans track inclusion

November 3, 2013

“Forza Motorsport 5” comes out Nov. 22 for Xbox One. On Friday, game-maker Turn 10 Studios released a video documentary about the game and its connection with Audi Team Joest and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Both the Circuit de la Sarthe and the Audi R18 e-tron quattro racing prototype will be included in the game at launch. The old version of the track with the long Mulsanne Strait will also be playable. Forza says this version of the track was built from the ground up using capture technology and laser scanning, making it nearly photorealistic.

“Forza 5” joins “Gran Turismo” and the “GRID” series in featuring the famous French track, though Forza doesn't program for night or weather racing, so expect an Alaska-like 24 hours of sun for your virtual play-through of the yearly race.
